Summary:
The Roanoke Rapids City Schools district in North Carolina consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with all schools reporting very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.
Among the standout schools in the district is Roanoke Rapids Early College High, which has consistently ranked among the top 25% of high schools in North Carolina and boasts significantly higher test scores compared to the district and state averages, particularly in core subjects. In contrast, Roanoke Rapids High School has below-average test scores, with proficiency rates ranging from 20.2% to 42.4% in core subjects.
The district's elementary and middle schools, such as Manning Elementary School and Chaloner Middle School, have mixed performance, with some grades and subjects exceeding state averages while others lag behind. This suggests a need for a more targeted and data-driven approach to curriculum and instruction at these grade levels. Despite the varying academic performance, the district maintains relatively consistent spending per student and student-teacher ratios across all schools.
